cmd/compile: fix devirtualization of promoted interface methods

A method selector expression can pick out a method or promoted method
(represented by ODOTMETH), but it can also pick out an interface
method from an embedded interface-typed field (represented by
ODOTINTER).

In the case that we're picking out an interface method, we're not able
to fully devirtualize the method call. However, we're still able to
improve escape analysis somewhat. E.g., the included test case
demonstrates that we can optimize "i.M()" to "i.(T).I.M()", which
means the T literal can be stack allocated instead of heap allocated.

Fixes #42279.
